Vague Gaming Experience: It's hard to pinpoint exactly when I started gaming since I was exposed to it so young in my life. I was able to play many games between Atari 2600 and the Commodore 64 before Nintendo came to exist in my household. While I played many games, I only owned one or two out of the many I pestered my parental units into renting from the local video store. The next console to become a part of my household would be the Sega Genesis instead of the SNES. Since I asked for a SNES for Christmas that year, it was a weird feeling to get that instead. Again, this gaming cycle would be limited to whatever I could rent which was quite small indeed. The next era would be ushered in with the Playstation and all the marvelous RPGs that would become my 'console golden age' as I was able to work a crappy part-time job to truly fuel my gaming renaissance. While PC gaming had also played a role during my childhood, it was around this time I was able to build my first rig and play many series I had missed out on and new ones just getting started. I was able to make it a huge part of my life and it has been ever since and likely it will always be.
